Blurb
Anthony Biswas, is a successful forensic pathologist who sees the world through a lens of pain. Not because he spends more time with the dead than the living, but because he pushes away everyone in his life, except his memories and his bottle. Memories of a horrific accident in a school trip to Darjeeling that traumatized him and his 4 friends. As each one of them goes through different stages of grief, Biswas doesn't move on. He keeps running in circles. As reality begins to fold upon itself, blending the waking world with the landscapes of his dreams.

My Opinion
An exceptional story.................
The Brown Sunshine by Arvind Rishi takes you on a journey of thrill and adventure. The plot is definitely an engaging one right from initiation. The author has put little bit of everything. In other words, it has suspense, drama, thriller and spirituality. There are some instances in the story which are going to blow your mind and will compel you to think that what is real and what is dream. The characters, especially Anthony Biswas, is a very brave one. His character is so mysterious and adeptly written that at a point of time the whole story depended on Anthony's moves only.
But, there are some loopholes here and there, where I could not agree with the flow of plot. But, still I enjoyed the book a lot. I would, rather say that it is a perfect book for beginners of psychological thrillers.
